Chapter 117. Private dishes
Watching the two laughing, everyone couldn't help laughing, originally many of them met for the first time, and there was a sense of strangeness between each other, but after such a small fuss, the atmosphere between everyone suddenly became active.
Guo Yunfang directly pulled Qiao Xin, another woman here besides her, and took the lead in front. The others followed slowly.
"I haven't been here for almost seven or eight years, and when I was a child, I thought it was very shabby, but now I look at it with a different charm." Walking on the ancient streets, looking at the buildings of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and feeling the precipitation of history, Li Rui couldn't help but sigh.
"Hehe, I don't know what the charm is here, I just know that you have to run out of the toilet here, and there are sewers or something, and when it rains, it will become a river here!" At this time, Guo Shan said suddenly.
"This is a heritage reserve, and you are not allowed to renovate it without permission, so a lot of the facilities here are very old! But other than that, the environment here is still very good! Sun Jian said with a direct smile.
"Brother Shan lives here?" Li Rui asked strangely.
"I don't live here. It's my aunt who lives here, and by the way, it's also Fangfang's aunt. Guo Shan said directly.
"Let's go to Fangfang's aunt's house for dinner today!" At this time, Sun Jian said with a smile directly.
"Go to Fangfang's aunt's house for dinner? This...... All right? Li Rui didn't expect to go to Guo Yunfang's aunt's house for dinner, which suddenly made him a little embarrassed.
"Don't be embarrassed, Fangfang's aunt's family actually runs a restaurant." Sun Jian explained to Li Rui in a timely manner.
"Open a restaurant here?" Li Rui couldn't help but be puzzled. Although it is a tourist area, the number of tourists is not very large. And the building here doesn't seem to be very suitable for opening a restaurant, unless it's a small restaurant, but Li Rui believes that since Sun Jian can bring him here to eat, it will definitely not be a small restaurant.
"Li Rui, haven't you heard of the Zheng family's private dishes?" At this time, Wang Wenqiang looked at Li Rui's puzzled look and asked curiously.
"Is this Zheng family's private dish famous?" Li Rui asked again suspiciously.
"Li Rui, I doubt now that you are from Ningshi, you haven't heard of the Zheng family's private dishes?" Guo Yunfang, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around, looked at Li Rui and said.
"The Zheng family's private cuisine has been inherited for nearly two hundred years, and his founder is Fangfang's grandfather. Fangfang's grandfather's grandfather was the imperial chef in the palace back then, so he escaped from the palace and lived in seclusion here. Later, he opened such a private restaurant. And set the rule of only three tables a day, one table at noon, and two tables at night! Sun Jian began to explain to Li Rui.
"Needless to say, the taste of the Zheng family's private dishes, it is definitely the top, you can come here to eat either rich or expensive, and it needs to be booked a month in advance, and even then it is not easy to book. Therefore, it is definitely a very face-saving thing to be able to entertain guests in the Zheng family's private restaurant in Ning City. Wang Wenqiang said.
"There is still such a thing, it looks like I'm going to have a good mouth today." After listening to their story, Li Rui immediately became interested in this Zheng family's private restaurant.
The location of the Zheng family's private restaurant is not very good, and it is not very remote, with a wooden gate, two small stone lions at the door, and there is no recruitment at the door, only a guise with the word "Zheng" written on it.
"Good word!" This Zheng character is written vigorously and powerfully, and at first glance it is written by a famous calligrapher.
"This is written by my grandfather!" Guo Yunfang said proudly on the side.
Looking at the Zheng family's private dishes from the outside, it feels like an ordinary family, but after pushing the door open and entering inside, Li Rui's eyes suddenly lit up, because the first thing that caught his eye was a shadow wall full of words.
"The words on this are all inscribed by customers who come here, of course, those who can inscribe poems on this are not calligraphy and painting, or contemporary celebrities!" Sun Jian pointed to the shadow wall and introduced.
Li Rui stepped forward and took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a lot of familiar names on it, of course, Li Rui paid more attention to the calligraphy level of those people.
Bypassing the shadow wall, it is a very delicate small courtyard, this courtyard is about seventy or eighty square meters, but there are rockeries, water pavilions, trees, and pavilions.
"Sun Jian, you take Li Rui and them to Hall 1 first, and I'll go to meet my eldest uncle!" After entering this small courtyard, Guo Yunfang said suddenly.
"Okay, there you go. By the way, don't forget to take a few more jars of Zheng family imperial wine out later! Sun Jian immediately said with a smile.
Sun Jian was obviously familiar with this place, and he led Li Qiang and them through a corridor, bypassing an arched round door, and directly to a room.
This room is very large, the decoration is antique, there is a round table in the middle, Li Rui checked it visually, it should be able to sit about ten people, at this time Sun Jian was not polite, he sat directly on the main seat, and then let Li Rui and Li Qiang sit on both sides of him. Li Rui was not polite, and Li Qiang also sat down under Li Rui's signal. Subsequently, Wang Wenqiang and Guo Shan also sat beside Li Rui and Li Qiang respectively.
Only Qiao Xin and Xu Dong seemed a little restrained, and even sat there a little restless. Today, both of them feel as if they are wearing the halo of the protagonist, and they have adventures and adventures, especially now that they vaguely know the identities of these people at the table, and even know that the company they are about to serve actually has the shares of the mayor's son, which directly gives them great confidence and enthusiasm for their work.
However, this situation also made both of them nervous, so after only sitting for a few seconds, Qiao Xin and Xu Dong stood up almost at the same time, reaching out for the teapot on the table together, obviously trying to get rid of the current nervous feeling by working.
There are no waiters in the Zheng family's private restaurant, and they need to do all the work of making tea and pouring water, and everyone can't help but chuckle when they see the actions of the two.
"Xu Dong, sit down. Just let Qiao Xin pour water for everyone! At this time, Li Rui spoke directly.
"Good!" Xu Dong didn't go against Li Rui's intentions, so he nodded directly and sat down again.
Qiao Xin made tea and poured water neatly with her hands and feet, and quickly adjusted her feelings to the best state, and when she sat down again, her expression had become much more natural.
Seeing Qiao Xin's recovery so quickly, Li Rui couldn't help but nod his head again, and now in his heart, he had completely recognized Qiao Xin, the assistant general manager. Of course, not to mention Li Qiang, when Qiao Xin was pouring tea just now, Li Rui's eyes were almost following Qiao Xin, and even now he quietly glanced at it from time to time, and his face was full of special smiles that only people who fell in love would have.
